About Craft Beer Co
Opened in 2010 with over 500 people through the door on day one — widely credited with helping kick-start London's modern craft beer boom.
This Leather Lane branch of the Craft Beer Co opened in 2010 as the group's second site, and its opening night — more than 500 people came through the door — is often cited as a turning point for London's craft beer scene. Behind an ornate mirrored ceiling and stained glass, it now pours around 21 keg lines, 16 cask pumps and over 200 bottles and cans, one of the largest selections anywhere in the City.
